Cultural Heritage

ASI was founded in response to increasing public awareness of the importance of Ontario’s heritage resources. We began our operations with a focus on providing archaeological consulting services, but quickly began to apply a more holistic and comprehensive approach to cultural heritage management.

With over 20 years experience, ASI’s Cultural Heritage Division offers a specialized and integrated approach to the delivery of cultural heritage policy development, and the management of built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes. Our work is wide-ranging and reflects the unique expertise of our staff in both urban and rural contexts. Our dedicated and multidisciplinary team brings together historians, policy advisors, cultural landscape theorists, anthropologists, environmental planners, and cultural heritage specialists who together employ a cooperative approach to provide above ground heritage services.

The Division works across and with all other ASI business areas. Through our depth of experience, integrated approach, and resource capacity we are able to provide the following above ground heritage services:
